While they are all awesome, and I believe the Death Company is the best as of yet, the Librarian really has that... psyker in a tomb feel. They pulled off the Force Weapon a lot better than I thought. I would try to get an arm or two for my GK Dreads but they will be damn expensive until summer comes around on bit sites. Very well made models on GWs part, and the Storm Raven is looking a lot better than I first imagined it (though I was willing to give it a second chance with a new picture).<br /><br />Bit random, but that captain standing in the front left is a very nice conversion. Seems a mix between Sicarius, Sanguinary Guard and... a nice sword.

You are getting a 5 man assault squad, 5 man death company, a tactical squad and a Rhino. If you look at cost for all the models and the cost of the battle force you are only saving $30. When you look at the Space Marine battleforce you are getting more models for less money. Ugh it pissed me off that GW puts out an awesome product like the Storm Raven and the Dreadnaught kit but does something sleezy like giving a "deal" on a battleforce.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463610884422243689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-53566971242414155372011-01-19T14:23:10.901-05:002011-01-19T14:23:10.901-05:00I'm geeking out over the Libby dread myself......I'm geeking out over the Libby dread myself...that model alone is enough to make me want a BA army (not to mention the awesome sauce drizzled on all the other models of the BA line)SAJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546865761199938592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-38584952407177664682011-01-19T14:13:30.471-05:002011-01-19T14:13:30.471-05:00jawaballs at hotmail sean!

Whats the worst that happens... I sell some beautiful dreads! As for our game, I definitely want a rematch. I totally misplayed. Now I know! Muahaha.Jawaballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188462457051627625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-42826195358330724702011-01-19T13:55:54.758-05:002011-01-19T13:55:54.758-05:00Yeah Chris the Dreads in this release really are s...Yeah Chris the Dreads in this release really are straining my ability to resist the blood angels codex. And I agree that the Storm Raven is very much what I was hoping for, its squat stunted nature lends itself much better for actual gameplay than the absurdly huge valkaryes.<br /><br />I've also been working on a Dreadnought list for BA as you asked me to after our game at Conflict. Right now I think Ive gotten to a core for 1750 to start with, and it'll probably take playtesting to see where it needs to be tweaked, but at the moment it mirrors many of the themes of my list in being take all comers, while having a bit more scoring then my 10 models as you mentioned too low of a scoring count makes you jumpy.<br /><br />But if youre looking for something specifically for 2000pts, I may take sections of it back to the drawing board entirely. Let me know where I should email it to you.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324649177159529199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376208744490382379.post-47368404451854250142011-01-19T13:46:19.551-05:002011-01-19T13:46:19.551-05:00I think the new models are cool too.
